Should prominent men in the public eye work to strengthen our common Western moral ethos, or promote a new random, directionless, relativistic moral standard?

Now, just why would Neil Cavuto feel any need to interview Hef and congratulate the Playmate of the Year, live, on the Fox News channel?

That's not the sort of thing I tune in Fox to see. The interview showed the degree to which the normalization
of the obscene has advanced in our culture, and is being significantly
helped along by men like Neil who are looked up to and admired by other
men. My main problem with this particular show stems from the fact that
I recognize Fox News as the best thing currently out there - and yet,
every so often, they feel compelled to put a pseudo-sophisticated pig on
the air and give a plug, however mild, however editorially tempered, to
America's disgusting Masturbation Industry. Why?

In today's entertainment culture, Playboy is seen as a
milder, more "sophisticated" and more acceptable form of porn. After
all, major Democratic Party fund raisers have been held at the Playboy
Mansion. The Democrats have probably raised more political funds off of
the porn industry than they have from the Red Chinese military, or even
the Abortion
industry. The reason for all the high-placed respect shown to Playboy
has much to do with the wildly misplaced arrested-adolescent perception
that Playboy represents, not only adult, but super-sophisticated and even philosophical adult material; see?

And this misplaced arrested-adolescent perception prevails largely because Hef was so often shown smoking a pipe, and he once wrote a long, nihilistic and hedonistic diatribe called the Playboy Philosophy, which makes him, in the eyes of the semi-literate, a philosopher. And the Playboy bimbos - excuse me, I mean ladies - are all so smart, and they all have such talent,
you see. And where is the evidence for all these smarts and all this
talent? Well, they all have nice boobs and nice butts, and - well,
that's about it. And they show, graphically, that they are quite
willing to spread their legs not only for the sophisticated droolers, the ones smoking pipes and wearing tuxedos and looking unconcerned, but for the cameras, so that all drooling jerk-offs may indulge themselves in an orgy of fantasy. Isn't that sophisticated? Isn't that adult?

I submit that it is infantile, and that it is enslaving, and that it is unworthy of the attention of men, except when that attention opposes it. Hef is no different than Flynt. These crude, manipulative bastards take women who are daughters of God and they shame them, and they disgrace them, while making them feel as though they are competitively accomplishing something good,
and pay them with large sums of money, material goods, and even a
launching pad for some sort of show-biz career, and they do all this to them
for money and fame and empire. Every woman ever born was called to a
higher human dignity than this. There is and can be no worldly reward
worthy of that higher dignity.

Buddy, let me tell you something: For everything you do, and everything you say, someone is watching and listening, whether you are aware of it or not. Words and actions have affects on others. What we all collectively say and do, the sum of our collective behavior, is a direct reflection of the sum of our individual moral and ethical standards. Men like Hef and Flynt clearly display the moral standards of
BMDFP10
, Freud, Jung, Kinsey and Dr. Ruth. This standard stands in stark contrast to the honorable ethos of Western Civilization upon which America itself is based.

The usually gradual and sometimes not so gradual migration away from
our ancient Judeo-Christian moral roots is, predominantly, toward an atheistic morality, which is to say, no morality. For atheism has no moral code, and no roots. It may be said that the atheist is without roots, without direction, and without purpose. A pointless existence.
Is that the direction we want America to go? Look closely at what the
greatest atheists in history - Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse
Tung - did to the masses. Look at the gulags, the concentration camps,
the death camps, the Siberian camps, the enslavement of whole nations,
the total repression and subjugation of religions and religious
cultures, the quite serious threat of world domination of that order,
and then tell me, with a straight face, that that repudiation of Western Culture is preferable to the strengthening of it.

Do not pretend that porn moves us in any direction other than
away from Judeo-Christian morality. We have ample historical evidence
to show what lies in that moral, or rather immoral, direction. Unrepresentative yet predominantly immoral show-biz, transmitted beyond our shores, already
portrays us inaccurately to the rest of the world as a decadent people.
Hollywood is not an accurate reflection of America, but the outside
world doesn't know that. Unfortunately, neither do a lot of younger
Americans; TV is, for many of them, a major source of their early moral
formation. The "normal," or increasingly normalized so-called adult behavior they witness on the tube goes a long way toward forming, or mal-forming, their own developing personal guiding ethos.

Let the Cavutos of the world publicly wink at porn, keeping their
kids from it, but indulging in it themselves, because they see
themselves as sophisticated, and adult, see? You and I
are called to rise above that level. Turn away from this crap. Set a
good example. Get the girlie-calendar out of your garage. Don't just
talk the talk, but walk the walk.

Be a real man, to the glory of God, and for the betterment of future generations.

Silence in the face of evil is speaking. "We've had enough of exhortations to be silent!
Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten
because of silence." Saint Catherine of Siena

“An
error which is not resisted is approved; a truth which is not defended is
suppressed…. He who does not oppose an evident crime is open to the suspicion of
secret complicity.” – Pope Felix III

“Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's creatures.
What you are in God's sight is what you are and nothing more”—Justice Clarence Thomas

"Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, then, is the sin committed by the person who claims to have a 'right' to persist in evil-in any sin at all-and who thus rejects redemption." Pope Saint John Paul the GreatDOMINUM ET VIVIFICANTEM

"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men-when we can do it-is no less a sin than to encourage them." Pope St. Felix III

If a purposeful violator of the Constitution who is a sworn officer of the governemt is not a domestic enemy of America and a traitor, then
there is no such thing, and the Constitution itself is without meaning,
and America has lost its grounding and its very purpose for being. Anti-American-Court

The Heresy of Chrislam. Those claiming that the “Allah” of Islam’s Qu’ran and Yahweh or God of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are one and the same are missing one glaring point: GOD NEVER CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

Never be lukewarm.Life itself demands passion.He who is indifferent to God has already forfeited his soul.He who is indifferent to politics has already forfeited his liberty.In America, religion is not mere window dressing and citizenship is not a spectator sport.Do not allow our common destiny as a whole people to just happen without your input. Seek the Truth; find the Way; live the Life; please God, and live forever.

The Purpose of this grouping of links is to provide a record of Mainstream Media lies, liars and how journalists are trained and paid by their employers to lie.

The Mainstream Media PagesDay after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, every big name news anchor and reporter in American journalism lied, big, bold and proud, in full support of the Communist cause against America, all throughout the entire Vietnam War, and it has only gotten worse since then.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

"It is not lawful to take the things of others to give to the poor. It is a sin worthy of punishment, not an act deserving a reward, to give away what belongs to others."--St. Francis of Assisi

Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance
may deride it, but in the end, there it is.—Winston

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who
deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand

Atheist Genesis:

In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.
And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.

“ … for I have sworn upon
the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush in
the year of our Lord 1800. The context
involved resistance to any form of Christianity or Deism legally imposing
itself throughout the USA. We must wonder what he might say
about our current government's forced imposition of strict secularism – i.e.,
anti-theism – throughout the USA. I submit that legally enforced secularism of society, like theocracy, like Marxism,
and like Islam, is, precisely, a form of tyranny over the mind of man.Nothing good can come from the religious cleansing of Judaeo-Christian society. Government imposed secularism is just another form of theocracy.
